DEVICE FOR OILIN G HANDSAWS.

To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, ROY RANKIN MYERS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Devices for Oiling Handsaws, of which the following is aspecification.

The present invention has reference generally to improvements in thatclass ofinventions known as lubricators and more particularly relates toa device for oiling hand saws.

It is the primary aim and object of this invention to provide a deviceof the above mentioned character designed for attachment to a wall orother support and also designed to accommodate lubricating padspositioned on o posite sides of the blade of a hand saw when the latteris arranged in a supported position in the device.

"More particularly the present invention contemplates the provision of adevice of the above mentioned character wherein a pair of complementalslotted plates are employed and shaped so that when all'illfffid insuperposed relation a chamber is formed therebetween'for accommodatingthe lubricating pads, the adjacent edges of which pads are arranged inclose relation with each other and in alinement with the slots throughthe plates so that when the blade of the saw is moved through the slotsthe pads will contact with the opposite sides of the saw blade for thelubrication of the saw while the saw is capable of being effectivelysupported by the plates when not in use.

Among the other aims and objects of this invention may be recited theprovision of a device of the above mentioned character wherein thenumber of parts are comparatively few, the construction simple, the costof production low and the efficiency high.

Other objects, as well as the nature, characteristic features and scopeof this invention will be more readily apparent from the taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in theclaims, forming a part of this specification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the de yice,

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 27, 1918.

Serial no. 264,363.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional viewtaken throughthe device showing thesaw :in a supported position therein,

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary top plan detail of the lower plate, and

Fig. 4 is a transverse t e saw removed. 7

Similar characters of reference are cur ployed in all of the abovedescribed views to indicate corresponding parts. I

Referring now, more particularly, to the aecompanylng drawings, there isprovided a pair of complemental plates 1 and 2 arranged in superposedcontacting relation wit respect to each other and having their adjacentfaces pressed away from each other to provide longitudinally extendingopposed recesses 3 which when the plates are arranged together form achamber and in addition the recessed portions of the plates are formedwith longitudinal slots 4 which are positioned medially of the sidesthereof and terminate short of the ends of the recessed portions, andaline with each other when the flfli't} are positioned in superposedrelation, as; is apparent. The slot 4 in the upper plate 2 is restrictednear one end to facilitate the insertion of the saw blade, hereinafterdescribed, between the lubricating pads hereinafter described Integralears 5 extend longitudinally from the respective ends of the plates 1and 2 and are designed to register with each other when the plates arearranged together.

In order to provide the improved lubricating means, lubricating pads 6such as strips of felt which are adapted to be saturated with oil, arearranged longitudinally in the chamber and are positioned so that theadjacent side edges thereof are arranged in close relation and theseclosely arranged edges register with the slots I. When accommodated inthe chamber, the opposite side edges of the pads or strips are arrangedin close relation with the adjacent side walls of the recessed portions3 of the plate, the arrangement being clearly indicated in Fig. 4.

In removably holding the plates in the relation described, suitablefastening means such as nut and bolt arrangements 7 are associated withthe registering ears 5 for the clamping of the plates together.

Supporting brackets generally designated sectional detail with PatentedAug. 26, 1919.

14 resting on the uppersurface of the plate the arrangement beingclearly indicated lubricate the blade.

7 and adjacent edges'of thelubrieating pads 6 so that when the saw isslid up ,and'down through the slots, the pads being arranged in yieldingengagement with the opposite sides of the blade 12 thereof willeffectively When thesaw is not in use, the device serves as a supporttherefor, the

the slot with the adjacent edge of the handle in Fig. 2. By theemployment of this device, it'is apparent that the saw will always bekept in a conveniently supported position and will always be oiled whenit is desired to use the same. t

It is believed in view of the foregoing de scription that a furtherdetailed description of the operation of the invention is entirelyunnecessary. Likewise, it .is believed that the advantages of theinvention will be readily apparent. V

Still further embodiments of the invention than those herein especiallydefined may be resorted to as conditions or preference may dictate, asmay. be in keeping with the here to a pended claims.

aving thus fully described the invention,

Copies of this patent may be obtained for to a wall or other 7 10 as bydetachable fasteners chamber and having registration with 'upper platebeing restricted near one end to facilitate the insertion of a saw blademeans for removably blade 12 being positioned through five cents each,by addressing the Washington, D. 0.

what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is:a

1. A device of the character described in eluding a pair of superposedcompleinental plates having their adjacent faces formed with opposedalining recesses to form a their recessed portions with longitudinallyextending registering slots, lubricating pads arranged in the chamberand having, their adjacent edges positioned in closely spaced relationand in the slots, the slot in the provided between the pads,

clamping the plates together, and means arranged laterally of the platesfor attaching and supporting the plates.

2. A device of the character described:

comprising a pair of superposed complemental plates having theiradjacent faces formed with opposed longitudinally extending andregistering recessesproviding a hamber and having their recessedportions'pro-vided with registering longitudinal slots positionedvmedially of the sides of the recessed portions and terminating earsprojecting and registrable with each: other, lubricating pads arrangedin'the chamber and having their adjacent edges positioned in closelyspaced relation and in registration with the slots, means engageablewith the ears for removably clamping the plates together, and

supporting and attachingbrackets extendingfrom one of the plates.

vIn testimony whereof, I aflix my signature hereto.
